MACCULLOCH EDINBURGH AND LONDON OLIPHANT ANDERSON & FERRIER 1905 Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome, I would see them before I die ! But I'd rather not see any one of the three, 'Plan be exiled for ever from Skye ! " Lovest thou mountains great, Peaks to the clouds that soar, Corrie and fell where eagles dwell, And cataracts dash evermore? Lovest thou green grassy glades. By the sunshine sweetly kist, Murmuring waves, and echoing caves? Then go to the Isle of Mist." Sheriff Nicolson. DA 15 To MACLEOD OF MACLEOD, C.M.G. Dear MacLeod, It is fitting that I should dedicate this book to you. You have been interested in its making and in its publica- tion, and how fiattering that is to an author s vanity / And what chief is there who is so beloved of his clansmen all over the world as you, or whose fiame is such a household word in dear old Skye as is yours ? A book about Skye should recognise these things, and so I inscribe your name on this page. Your Sincere Friend, THE A UTHOR. 8G54S7 EXILED FROM SKYE. The sun shines on the ocean, And the heavens are bhie and high, But the clouds hang- grey and lowering O'er the misty Isle of Skye. I hear the blue-bird singing, And the starling's mellow cry, But t4eve the peewit's screaming In the distant Isle of Skye.

This is in addition to about the same number, dealing with the traditions^ superstitions, general history, and social condition of the Highlands, and mostly prepared after business hours in the course of an active private and public life, including my editorial labours in connection with the Celtic Maga- zine and the Scottish Highlander. This is far more than has ever been written by any author born north of the Grampians and whatever may be said ; about the quality of these productions, two agreeable facts may be stated regarding them.

  • A Re-Examination of the Lineage of Bost &
    DESCENDANTS OF NORSE BOLSTAIJR?: A RE-EXAMINATION OF THE LINEAGE OF BOST & CO. Richard Cox INTRODUCTION The account by Nicolaisen in Scottish Place-Names of the Norse settlement of Scotland as seen from place-name evidence is a land-mark in the development of our understanding of that largely undocumented process. His analysis of the distribution of selected generic elements clearly plots the gradual but relentless approach of serial settlement, through the Northern and Western Isles, up to and onto the northern mainland and western coastal belt. The chronology proposed for the settlement generic-elements discussed, places them in the following order: 1. sta(Jr, 2. setr (and/or sretr) and 3. b6lstaor (Nicolaisen 1976. 87-94). The remarkable thing about the last of these elements, b6lstaor, is that, according to Nicolaisen, it has yielded a large number of different reflexes in modern forms of names. These include orthographic bist, bister, bust, buster, bast, pster, mster, bus, boll, poll, pool and bo (Nicolaisen op.cit. 94). There is general agreement here among earlier commentators, but there are some dissenters concerning one or two individual reflexes (Appendix 2). For instance, not all would agree that boll, poll or pool forms derive from b6lstaor. This in itself does not prompt a complete re-examination of the reflexes of b6lstaor, but there does seem to be a sufficiently compelling reason to undertake one. Enquiring into the form and derivation of shader-names over the west of Scotland (in Gaelic, Siadar ['fiaqdr] ['fid<;ldr] or final -seadar [,f aqdr]), the evidence suggested that an early group of these coincided chronologically with name-forms with the reflex bast, but that · another group of shader-names were of a slightly later stratum than bast-names (Cox 1990).

Harry Macdonald took lease on Viewfield from Lord Macdonald in 1846; and founded the legal firm of Macdonald and Fraser in Portree Harry and Joanna Macdonald had five sons: Alexander Macdonald, (1840-1899), was born in Portree 3 April 1840, educated at the parish school at Portree, at Inverness Royal Academy where he was dux of the year, and at Edinburgh University, which he left without taking a degree due to eye problems. He qualified as law agent in 1863 and went into partnership with his father, who was agent for the National Bank. After his father’s death, he continued the firm of Macdonald and Fraser (see D123 and D293), and was sole agent for the bank in Portree. In 1879, he became factor to Lord Macdonald after his father, having already been appointed to similar positions for the Macleod, Kilmuir and Strathaird Estates. He was also Secretary to the Skye Diatomite Company, formed in partnership with his brothers John and Harry in July 1886, for the mining and sale of diatomite.
